Welcome Home, John! Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney with your vacation planning question today. I'm happy to track down an answer for you--like Kim Possible, it's what I do and nobody's going to stop me!
Ahh, a vacation at
Disney's Vero Beach Resort sounds like the perfect getaway. Located just a 2-hour drive from
Walt Disney World Resort, this
Disney Vacation Club resort offers relaxation, fun in the sun on the shores of Atlantic Beach, and even sea turtles!
John, I spoke to the always-helpful Alanna at
Member Services, and she confirmed that the Mickey Mouse-shaped feature pool at Vero Beach is open for aquatic adventures. However, the beach at the resort is currently undergoing a scheduled nourishment project that started on February 8 and is anticipated to last for about a month. In the meantime, Guests wishing to put their toes in the ocean can take resort transportation to a beach about a mile away. This shuttle service will run between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM daily. For additional updates, I recommend keeping an eye on the resort website--often this is the best place to find the most current information about renovations and potential impacts.
For some more fun family activities, you can check out the
Port Holes 9-hole miniature golf course, rent bicycles from
Eb & Flo's, or try your hand at catch-and-release fishing with
lessons at the resort's private lake. Activities and excursions can be booked by
calling the Vero Beach resort.
I hope this information is just what you were looking for and that you're looking forward to some well-deserved rest and relaxation soon! Thanks again for visiting planDisney, John, and don't forget that you can "call me, beep me, if you want to reach me" (or any of my planDisney buddies) anytime!
Stay Magical!
Susan
